@vermeer ,
Congratulations on the Paradigms. I had listened to these speakers about 2 months back. And that too is a really bad setting - huge glass window (1 piece) behind them. The speakers were also not set optimally with the right speaker near a doorway while the left had plenty of open space next to it. The amp was a Peachtree. And guess what! They sounded really really good in this setup. I was amazed that they "focused" so well with vocals, especially the way they were setup. If you set them up correct in your room, I am sure you will be more than thrilled. I believe they are very good value for money. Enjoy your music!
